How does it plan to achieve this goal? Check out Sputnik’s explainer to find out.

The United States has been warned by North Korea that it now has a “green light” to use a nuclear attack. The U.S. nuclear submarine’s appearance in South Korea is an excuse for North Korea to consider nuclear repercussions, according to Defense Minister Kang Sun-nam.
“I remind the U.S. military of the fact that the ever-increasing visibility of the deployment of the strategic nuclear submarine and other strategic assets may fall under the conditions of the use of nuclear weapons specified in DPRK law on nuclear force policy,” Sun-nam said in a press statement carried by North Korea’s Central News Agency, as reported by South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency.

Do you believe in God? If so, you belong to a portion of the population that is steadily shrinking. Yes, a majority of Americans still think that God exists, but the trend is clearly going in one direction. So are we headed down the same road that so many post-Christian nations in western Europe have already gone down? According to a shocking new survey that Gallup has just released, the percentage of Americans that believe in God has plunged to the lowest level that they have ever recorded…

You may think “all is well” or at least “all is reasonably ok”.
You’re wrong.
Just as in early 2007 it was clear that we were staring down a monster problem and whistling past the economic graveyard, we are once again doing the same thing. In early 2007 I called out the fact that WaMu was paying dividends out of money they didn’t actually have; it was a (legal) accounting fiction created by negative amortization loans that made it appear they had “value” that didn’t really exist. Of course it could have been ok in that case because perhaps people could have eventually paid all they owed at an ever-increasing rate, but to believe that you had to believe that infinite re-finance activity at ever-lower costs was going to continue forever, because either that had to stop and people had to pay on what they owed (in which case the “value” stopped going up and earnings stopped happening), it must continue (to keep the trend going) or there was soon going to be a crash.

High-speed broadband connections can be achieved via safer and more secure methods than biologically and environmentally harmful wireless-radiation emitting satellites. Of course, launching them is NOT eco-friendly either. They also contribute to already dangerous levels of space junk and they are making it more difficult for astronomers to conduct research (see 1, 2). In regard to Starlink satellites, there have already been so many problems reported about them. The ones that haven’t fallen from orbit and burned yet are swerving every 10 minutes to avoid collision. Last year it was reported that their speed is also slowing down everywhere! Nevertheless, the “captured” Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) continues to approve the launching of tens of thousands of broadband satellites from SpaceX as well as other companies including Amazon.

The US and its allies have been pursuing a path full of mistakes in recent years, Russia’s Deputy FM says
The geopolitical decisions of the US and its allies are being dictated by “impotent rage” over the West’s dwindling influence on the global stage, Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has stated.
Following his meeting with members of the Alexander Gorchakov Public Diplomacy Fund in Moscow on Friday, Ryabkov was asked to comment on this week’s hearing at the US House Committee on Foreign Affairs,

Under the Biden regime’s watch, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has released over 500,000 migrants into the United States via its parole pipeline.
According to John Binder of Breitbart News, right after Joe Biden was installed in office in 2021, Biden started implementing a vast Catch and Release network where illegal alien border crossers are usually stopped, detained for a brief period of time, and subsequently released into the US interior.

Last week in my Goldmoney Insight, I analysed the rationale for a new gold backed trade settlement currency on the agenda of the BRICS summit in Johannesburg on 22—24 August. This article is about the consequences for the dollar-based fiat currency regime.
There is strong evidence that planning for this new trade settlement currency has been in the works for some time and has been properly considered. That being so, we are witnessing the initial step away from fiat to gold backed currencies. Without the burden of expensive welfare commitments, all the attendees in Johannesburg can back or tie their currency values to gold with less difficulty than our welfare-dependent nations. And it is now in their commercial interests to do so.

Far-left Brazilian President Luiz da Silva has signed a presidential decree restricting civilian access to firearms after the country witnessed increased gun ownership under former President Jair Bolsonaro.
The decision – nicknamed “responsible arms control” – will severely limit guns and ammunition stockpiles, the opening hours of shooting ranges, prohibit certain weapons, including nine-millimeter handguns, and require those purchasing firearms to demonstrate why they need them.
